Fumbling for Affection by Beth Gildersleeve

It’s a fine line between love and hate, but what’s a witch to do when he tackles her heart?

Maggie Buchanan, a witch who can shift energies, runs Brewster’s, a local, cozy coffee shop she’s managed for years. Her dreams crumble when Lucas Rodriguez, a charming nuisance from college, tries to butter her up by entering the baking contest she needs to win to finance her rise to success.
As a star NFL center, Lucas always fumbles in winning Maggie’s heart. Determined to prove himself, he joins the baking contest, uncovering her secret desire, and creates a recipe for disaster.

Fumbling for Affection kicks off the magical Buchanan series. It perfectly mixes closed-door romance, witty banter, and a sassy talking cat, with a scoop of second chances and a dash of a close-knit family, all kneaded together with the magic of love.
